i've had cataract surgery and never had those shields. i had no idea what the heck that pic was of. lol i was careful to park my truck around the...

Cost is all relative… Better tools are typically more productive and eat their own cost when used properly. Some hobbyists have plenty more...

Been there, wore the eye shield too. Glad you got it done. So much better, right!? You’ll likely still need readers.

welcome to the house. I think you will like the 220

I thought i was totally dead in the water over that cracked valve housing then I remembered that the rotator that I pulled off had a large controller...

He did the worst one (20/200). I haven't seen this good in God Knows How Long. I sat and looked at K'kins all through supper this evening.

Just one eye for now?

Is this for code work or hobby welding? If it's for code work you would have a procedure to follow. The rods would likely be removed from the...

It only tool from Harbor Freight the have that has no modifications. Dave

I purchased mind in 2007 works great . I have done nothing to saw other than saw blades. Dave

The HF bandsaw will last. However, debatable if it will still be HF tool after one finishing modifying it.

If I tried to fabricate something that complex, the distortion would be so bad, it would roll on two wheels. Looks like you really handled it well.

good suggestion. i forgot about those. i have only used them on light gauge but 1" should work on 3/4" thick with no problem.

Dave, I appreciate the tip. But you seem to be quite optimistic about the quality of tools from Harbor Garbage. Either that or you are pessimistic...

I use these all the time both in a cordless drill and in my drill press. You would make quick work of those six holes with a drill and some lube....

So this brings up another question: are these style chop saws only designed for relatively thin material? Sometimes I need to cut things that's would...

Try Harbor Freight a new 4x6 bandsaw it will over 7½" flat bar and pipe 7½" by rotating half way though the cut too. It will last a life time. ...

Lesson learned. I had it flat. I need to go back to fabricating preschool :blush2:

Sounds great now get pass AWS. Dave

Arctan When you cut the 3/8" stock did you have it standing up in edge or laying flat? Material like that needs to be stood up on edge so you are...

It is in the AWS Data to heat the rod to 350°F before welding. It more of line work you doing to heat or not. Building , pipe line any time...
